Facile synthesis and characterization of novel pseudo-hypercrosslinked resin

A kind of pseudo-hypercrosslinked polymer resin was firstly synthesized via a continuous Friedel–Crafts alkylation polymerization of benzene, diphenyl and their dichloromethyl derivatives. And the micromorphology and adsorption properties of these resins were investigated. The results demonstrated that the novel resins have high-specific surface area (581.26–974.88 m2/g), high-pore volume (0.56–1.65 mL/g), small average porous radius (1.93–3.67 nm) and excellent adsorption properties for small non-polar organic molecules.
